Fire and Life Safety Strategy

Client: Transport for NSW – Freight, Strategy and Planning
Location: NSW Electrified Train Network
Roles: Senior Project Development Manager
Budget: $500k (Study Value)

InfraSol led the development of a Fire & Life Safety (FLS) management strategy for TfNSW to inform future investment into FLS for the underground network of the NSW Passenger Network in support of increasing service levels and patronage.

 

The Strategy gained executive support throughout the development from the Rail Futures Executive Committee.

 

The works included bringing together various business units, subject matter experts and external parties (eg. Fire & Rescue NSW) to gain consensus on key elements. A SFAIRP framework was implemented for this assessment which formed the basis of the safety case, aligning with best practice and the Rail Regulator requirements.
